- This is the new Insta360 One X2.
It's got 5.7K video resolution, increased bit rate
and enhanced colors.
We've got better audio recording,
longer battery life, which has increased by up to 55%,
and it's waterproof up to 10 meters without a case.
So I'm personally a big fan of 360 cameras,
mainly because it gives you results
that your average mirrorless camera can't give you.
So today we're gonna try it a few of those shots,
some of the things that I have up here,
I wanna see if they translate onto the screen,
so let's go try it out.
(upbeat music)
All right, so we're at our first location right now,
my friend Jon is down here rigging up his bike
which we'll be using for the majority of the examples
that you'll see in this video,
but first things first.
Jon, thoughts on the new camera?
- Rigging it up to my bike right now
and basically what I'm trying to get
are some impossible shots of the bike ,
of me in-situ riding around.
It's also gotten an incredible stabilization
for something so tiny.
So this could replace a gimbal in your arsenal.
Am really excited to try it out.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, So before I got this camera
I was kind of like browsing the Insta360 page.
And there's this one effect
that I've never tried personally
that we're gonna try right now ,
called the clone trail.
So my hope is that we have the camera set up.
We're gonna press record
and we're going to use their app after we get the shot.
But we're gonna have Jon walk up to the bike
and essentially it should just be like Jon walking,
Jon putting his helmet on, Jon getting on the bike
and we should be able to see like this Cool clone trails.
(upbeat music)
- All right, so we're gonna try one of the features
that's built into the app called the Fly Lapse App.
And essentially what this is gonna do is
recreate the look of like an FPV drone
but all you're using is this camera on a pole.
So essentially you walk for three minutes
or in this case Jon is gonna set up
on his motorcycle with a stick going out of his bag.
He's going to drive for like three to five minutes
and then it's gonna post-process
and then it's going to look like an FPV drone.
So let's see what that shot looks like
after post-processing.
(upbeat music)
Okay so we're at our last location.
We're gonna go test out one feature
that is extremely important to me.
Arguably one of the most important features
that I'm most excited about
in terms of this camera is the fact
that it's now waterproof up to 10 meters.
The previous cameras were not waterproof at all.
As a surfer , as a traveler,
as someone who spends a lot of time around water,
having a camera that's waterproof,
means that I can actually get 360 content in the water.
So this is like a huge win for me.
This now means that this camera will live in my bag.
What we're gonna do is we're actually
gonna test this out right now.
I wanna have a shot of it going up
and then into the water and coming back out,
then we're gonna test how the camera reacts
after being dunked into the water,
as well as see what that shot looks like.
She's still good.
Been dunked in the water.
Start recording again.
Touch screen still works ,display.
That's truthfully that's huge for me.
(upbeat music)
(water splashing)
Stressed out.
I literally saw you.
You were like,
that's Lucas in the back there he's stressed.
He doesn't like how I treat my gear sometimes
but there's this little like accessory piece
that you can get, it's like a rubber cap
that will protect the lenses
so you don't damage them.
And we all know camera bags are a bit
of a dangerous place with metal
and gear moving around and lugging them everywhere.
So it do have something like that, will protect it.
Now let's talk about the state of 360 cameras.
I think this thing is amazing.
It both takes the place of a 360 camera
that gets you unique Content, tells unique stories
but as also an action camera.
You can get great POV's and ultra wise and all these things.
So this kind of takes the place of two cameras.
That's why this thing will now be my main camera
when it comes to action sports and 360 content.
I think these things are amazing filmmaking tools
and they're way different than a mirrorless or DSLR camera.
The fact that you can get unique shots and angles
and put this in weird places
and get impossible style video clips is
what makes this thing in an essential filmmaking tool.
